<h1 id="scripting-html-documents-using-epsilon">Scripting HTML Documents using Epsilon<a class="headerlink" href="#scripting-html-documents-using-epsilon" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h1>
<p>In this article we demonstrate how you can create, query and modify HTML documents in Epsilon programs using the HTML driver. All the examples in this article demonstrate using EOL to script HTML documents. However, it's worth stressing that HTML documents are supported throughout Epsilon. Therefore, you can use Epsilon to (cross-)validate, transform (to other models or to text), compare and merge your HTML documents.</p>

<h2 id="queryingmodifying-html-documents-in-eol">Querying/modifying HTML documents in EOL<a class="headerlink" href="#queryingmodifying-html-documents-in-eol" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The HTML driver uses predefined naming conventions to allow developers to programmatically access and modify HTML documents in a concise way. This section outlines the supported conventions in the form of questions and answers followed by relevant examples.</p>
<h2 id="how-can-i-access-elements-by-tag-name">How can I access elements by tag name?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-can-i-access-elements-by-tag-name" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h2>
<p>The <code>t_</code> prefix in front of the name of the tag is used to represent a type, instances of which are all the elements with that tag. For instance, <code>t_td.all</code> can be used to get all elements tagged as <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> (table cells) in the document, <code>t_tr.all</code> to retrieve all <code>&lt;tr&gt;</code> elements (table rows) etc. Also, if <code>cell</code> is an element with a <code>&lt;td&gt;</code> tag, then <code>cell.isTypeOf(t_td)</code> shall return true.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get all &lt;td&gt; elements
var cells = t_td.all;

// Get a random table cell
var cell = cells.random();

// Check if cell is a td
// Prints 'true'
cell.isTypeOf(t_td).println();

// Check if cell is a tr
// Prints 'false'
cell.isTypeOf(t_tr).println();</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-can-i-get-the-tag-name-of-an-element">How can I get the tag name of an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-can-i-get-the-tag-name-of-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the <code>.tagName</code> property for this purpose. For instance, if <code>cell</code> is an element tagged as <code>&lt;td&gt;</code>, <code>cell.tagName</code> shall return <code>td</code>. The <code>tagName</code> property is read-only.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get a random &lt;td&gt; element
var cell = t_td.all.random();

// Print its tag
// Prints 'td'
cell.tagName.println();</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-can-i-getset-the-attributes-of-an-element">How can I get/set the attributes of an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-can-i-getset-the-attributes-of-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the attribute name as a property of the element object, prefixed by <code>a_</code>. For example, if <code>t</code> is the first table of <code>sales.html</code>, <code>t.a_border</code> will return <code>1</code>. Attribute properties are read/write.</p>
<p>In this example, <code>t.a_border</code> will return <code>1</code> as a string. For <code>1</code> to be returned as an integer instead, the <code>i_</code> prefix should be used instead (i.e. <code>t.i_border</code>. The driver also supports the following preffixes: <code>b_</code> for boolean, <code>s_</code> for string (alias of <code>a_</code>) and <code>r_</code> for real values. </p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get the one and only table in the document
var table = t_table.all.first();

// Prints 11 (the border attribute is retrieved as string)
(table.a_border + 1).println();

// Prints 2 (the border attribute is retrieved as integer)
(table.i_border + 1).println();</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-can-i-getset-the-text-of-an-element">How can I get/set the text of an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-can-i-getset-the-text-of-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the <code>.text</code> read-write property for this.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>for (cell in t_td.all) {
    cell.text.println();
}</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-do-i-get-the-parent-of-an-element">How do I get the parent of an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-do-i-get-the-parent-of-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the <code>.parentNode</code> read-only property to retrieve the element's immediate parent and the <code>.parents.</code> read-only property to retrieve all the ancestors of the element.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get a random cell
var cell = t_td.all.random();

// Print the tag of its parent node
// Prints 'tr'
cell.parentNode.tagName.println();

// Print the tags of all its ancestors
// Prints 'Sequence {tr, tbody, table, body, html}'
cell.parents.tagName.println();</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-do-i-get-the-children-of-an-element">How do I get the children of an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-do-i-get-the-children-of-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the <code>.children</code> read-only property for this.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get the &lt;tbody&gt; element
var tbody = t_tbody.all.first();

// Iterate through its children
for (tr in tbody.children) {
    // Print the tag of each child

<p>Using what you've learned so far, you can do this using a combination of the <code>.children</code> property and the select/selectOne() operations. However, the driver also supports <code>e_</code> and <code>c_</code>-prefixed shorthand properties for accessing one or a collection of elements with the specified name respectively. <code>e_</code> and <code>c_</code> properties are read-only.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Get a random tr
var row = t_tr.all.random();

// Get its &lt;td&gt; children using the 
// .children property
var cells = row.children.select(a|a.tagName = "td");

// Do the same using the shorthand
cells = row.c_td;

// Get the first td child of the row
row.e_td.text.println();</code></pre>
<h3 id="how-do-i-create-an-element">How do I create an element?<a class="headerlink" href="#how-do-i-create-an-element" title="Permanent link">&para;</a></h3>
<p>You can use the <code>new</code> operator for this. </p>

t_tr.all.size().println();

// Creates a new tr element

<p>You can use the <code>.appendChild(child)</code> operation for this.</p>
<pre class="prettyprint lang-eol"><code>// Create a new row

<p>To add a HTML document to your Epsilon launch configuration, you need to select "HTML document" from the list of available model types.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="select.png" /></p>
<p>Then you can configure the details of your document (name, file etc.) in the screen that pops up. To load a HTML document that is not in the Eclipse workspace, untick the "Workspace file" check box and provide a full uri for your document (e.g. <code>http://www.google.com</code> or <code>file:/c:/myhtml.html</code>). </p>

<p>The Epsilon HTML driver leverages the excellent Jsoup HTML parser. In fact, all elements returned via EOL queries are instances of the <code>org.jsoup.nodes.Element</code> class and as such, <a href="https://jsoup.org/apidocs/org/jsoup/nodes/Element.html">all methods of the class</a> can be invoked on them through EOL.</p>
